Splendor is where you find it. It isn't always just in nature, but more often than not you will find it in nature.
As Rah is making long strides to the mountains of the dragon the long legged shadow Walker's is scraping up the reminder of the splendor under the vocal symphony of various feathered folk. What a blessing to sit and consume all this as it happens. Sensory overload. What an explosion of sound aromas and soft breath of the night breeze caressing your skin. Cool yet not cold anymore.
Oh God why must there be so many evil people in the world. Why can't we all enjoy your creation with out fear of mental and bodily harm.
This is the story about my emergance into the world of Chicken Husbandry. It is the beginning of a new life after iSimangaliso Wetlands Park Authority destroyed a functional Estuarine system in a post World Heritage Status.
After much soul searching I decided that is not worth educating to idiots about bio diversity and habitat destruction. It was time I apply my knowledge to better my quality of life and those I love and hold dear.
I pledged myself not to exceed my neutral foot print on earth. Every resource we burn will be replaced somehow and somewhere. Whether it's by planting 4.5 trees per year or by feeding people with a zero or negative footprint food source.
This will be achieved by growing food organically and increasing the bio diversity if the land entrusted to me for this purpose.

For Fuck Sakes Andrew. The harder you push your incompetents the harder we will push back. What about you have raped the system enough now do you not understand. You are not god. You cannot dictate to us how we use our heritage. You are merely appointed custodian. Somehow you mistook that for ownership. For 16 years we indulged you because you swing the check book and the park rules. We are no longer happy to seed to your massive ego and mismanagement of OUR Heritage.
You are not rehabilitating a system .... That would be true if the system was dead when you took over on 15 December 1999. At that stage the system was functional. It suffered merely under financial constraints due to Government cutbacks on Environmental issues. At time of your appointment you have already stated that you will do what it takes to enforce your vision on the area. Remember the introduction of The Lebombo Spatial Development Initiative at St Lucia Ski Boat Club in 1996.
Do you remember how you bullied females, Ladies of our community, on a public open meeting relating questions on Recreational Angling in The Greater St Lucia Area. Do you remember how you abused Park rules to over ride The National Recreational Angling Act. Do you remember flashing your green scorpion credentials around town?
Now please explain if this current drought started back in December 1999 why are you dry dredging sediment across Turtle Breeding Beeches during Turtle Season over known and documented Turtle Nesting Sights in the height of rainy season. This Management Plan was accepted in 2013 and you received 7.5 million Euro for this project which you neglected to implement for three years. You started it of with low impact Wet Dredging in the height of the dry season during the worst drought of 65 years.
You have not dropped the Ball Andrew ... You have Fucking lost it.
No one cares about the legacy of a humble person. It is the Psycho Paths and Skitsofrenis that ends up in History Books. The thing is every person want to leave a legacy, maybe that is true. I was brought up in a humble home where we were taught that all humans are equal and that all business ventures must give people equal opportunities. Or maybe I missed on of the memo's or family meetings. Maybe I spend to much time with my dear old Grandmother.
One thing life taught me is stop investigating at some point. Stop learning. Only God is all knowing. If you want to fit in you must accept to be a sheep. Well somewhere someone broke the kill switch. Was it the Metrics of 1979 that bullied a cripple once to many times. Was it my friend that was beaten to a pulp by his sisters boyfriend and the fact that I was forced to watch it happen. The guilt that followed later when he succumbed on a terminal brain tumor.
Who knows what tripped my switch. The fact that it is broken does not make life any easier for me. It means I have to justify all my actions against bullies very calculatively. The line between act of crime and justice is very thin. Especially when your switch is broken. Being Calculated comes with it's own draw backs. One always holds back on the last punch and one never sucker punch one's opponent, Fact is Andrew Zaloumis challenged me on a public meeting in person back in 1995.
From a position of power I never cared much for his challenge. Humble was the credo. The strong will never step on the poor or the weak. We will always leave a place for the less fortunate earn a living. This is one thing Andrew Zaloumis has lost in his struggle against Apartheid. Over the past 16 years he has challenged the White Families on every corner and visit to The Wetland Park. I have no problem with this. In essence I am against Hebraism. Now in essence what Andrew Zaloumis is doing with The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, which was left to us all by Nollie Zaloumis, George Hughes and Ian Player, is not in the best interest of all South Africans.
Over the past 16 years he has alienated traditional Zulu Crafters from their legacy and customer base. If one reads the history books it is not what the Big Three has anticipated. They builded a World Renowned Park integrating White Apartheid and Zulu Culture. This is a legacy no other person could achieve. They have build a management Structure in Natal Parks Board that successfully managed all aspects of the sensitive and fragile ecosystem and the needs of so many people from so many walks of live.
Andrew Zaloumis has destroyed this. Yes I can proof it in a court of law, but since we have freedom of speech in South Africa I don't need to. Already engaged with Andrew in two legal battles I am sure a third one will be not only a waste of taxpayers money, but also be over playing his legal hand. Yet I wont mind the publicity Mass Media will give my cause in this matter should Andrew pursue another legal battle against me, See the problem is Andrew Zaloumis is now a public figure and we can write about him as long as it is vaguely true.
Since my integrity is at stake I won't gossip about all the rumors surround Andrew. He has a Wife and Children. This is the main reason why I was holding back for so long before I started in this war of words and mayhem to expose him for who he really is. Out of respect for his children and his right to be a father, but Andrew is Apathetic and keeps on going like a one man wrecking ball. Well this has tripped my switch that I came out of my corner swinging ....
Andrew Zaloumis never filed for an Application to drive on the beaches. With hindsight the Application would have failed, but those acts where only casted in stone by Martinus van Schalkwyk in 2006. So by way of deduction he never intended to file an Application to drive on the beaches.
Andrew closed the Estuary Mouth Mechanically in 2000, 2007 and in 2016 with a high court court case that he reversed engineered. Very cunning I must say, but very shrewd and disrespectful to the presiding Judge,
Andrew Zaloumis received management over The Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park on 15 December 1999. This move he already planned in 1996. Thanks to Gerrie Swan, Town Clerk St Lucia Town Board at the time, Andrew moved in and destroyed a very fragile economy impacting most on Zulu Crafters.
The most important fact is that The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park received a Grant in 2000 from the World Bank in the amount of US $9 500 000.00. to repair the damage to St Lucia Estuary. By 2012 The Estuary was declared dead. The iSimangaliso Wetlands Park Authority received another 7.5 million Euros to do the same job again in 2013. In 2016 Andrew was broadcast by Kwela on Kyk Net that the Estuary will be open by October 2016. Not only was this a lie Andrew told us in 2014 he is starting a management plan that will link the Estuary to The Ocean.
Now this is where it is getting interesting .... See this Report ... Well for those who do the effort in cross referencing my facts will see that you cannot get the report through normal browsing, but yeah Bierpens is not a average user. Well one does not need a Russian Hacker to open a catch all on domains. One only needs to understand the workings of Google's Algorithms. Any way the point I am trying to make is that The Fact Is In 2014 The iSimangaliso Wetlands Park had 1/4 of a Billion Rands in Cash Grants to their disposal to make The Management Plan Work. We now know it would only have been about R75 000 000.00 which was already donated ... sorry a honest Dyslexic mistake... Granted ... that is the Verbally Correct English Word.
The Fact is Mike Bower ... It is FREE MONEY ... How ever you look at the Park is Run and Built and Maintained on Free Money. If I defend myself against The iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority it comes from the food on my childrens table. So see Mike when Andrew takes a legal swing at me it impacts on the health of my children and their well being in general. It does not happen with free money.
Now that we have cleared the air regarding this matter. Andrew has restricted us, The Public, from Kob Fishing, Park Rules they call it. Well those sacred Kobs died. If we look at the above facts they where killed due to gross negligence.
Let Me Explain
In 2000 Andrew Received US $9 500 000.oo
In 2000 Andrew instructs to mechanically close the Estuary
In 2007 Andrew instructs to mechanically close the Estuary
In 2012 Andrew was told the Estuary had died
In 2013 Andrew receives 7.5 Million Euros
In 2014 He had a plan. He had R250 000 000.00 Granted Cash on Hand
In 2015 The Estuary Run Dry and all the Fish Died. Everything. Even the Resident Brindle Bass
In 2016 He made a TV Appearance where he promised the mouth will be open by October
In 2017 Andrew receives more money from The World Bank
Andrew Zaloumis is not the right man for the job, He has killed St Lucia Estuary and it will have a huge impact on Earth Warming for generations to come. He has destroyed the legacy that got us World Heritage Status in the First Place.
Now let us open the books with taunting Andrew with his National Mass Media manipulation and still the truth pops up in Google's top 10 Searches. See Andrew while you where slumbering in your office the past 16 years I set out to save St Lucia Estuary from you.
The fact that you read this proves that I am very well positioned to expose you. And way let us get to the facts. St Lucia Estuary is a marine system. You will have to proof with facts that Nollie had different plans for it.
See Andrew we are worried about the way you apply your power to manipulate us... The public... We are not that stupid nor are we that squishy. Let it be know... You have done more damage to this eco system in 16 years than all the anglers that ever fished it. So Andrew thr fish you killed will be used against you. We the angler's of South Africa will see to it.

Andrew Zaloumis do not allow any broadcast over National TV if he did not see it
So this is considered as the Voice of Andrew Zaloumis.
World Heritage Proclamation 15 December 1999
Listing Conflicting Facts
1:56 This public broadcaster say that sometimes this is a wonderworld and sometimes it is just a bowl of dust. Well this only has been dust twice since 2000. No previous references of the lake drying up completely ...Worst drought in 65 years he says.
1:59 Andrew refrence to Catalina bay in the second World War. 1939 - 1945. Sugar Cane farming started about 1913 and the flats was turned dry by 1938. Dredging started in 1953. So according to Andrew Zaloumis from 1953 to 2010 a concession boat could traverse over the bay. Now the Estuary has run dry.
Question is sea water not less toxic to marine life than sand?
I mean look at all the death. Look at the death and destruction on time line 4:19.
Remember Andrew in 2000 and 2007 you personally commanded that the life giving link between the Estuary and the ocean must be cut of.
3:51 a Very influential Scientist is explaining how toxic water can get if it is to salty. 35/1000 is ocean water and 90/1000 is toxic to most marine life. Yet we see in 4:19 that sand is more toxic than Sea Water,
Fact is Andrew one can dilute 90/1000 parts of salt with fresh ocean water, but you cannot dilute sand with wind and hope marine life will prevail.
This is currently all I can lift out ... my brain is frying between the time lines.

Today will be a lowtide fishing day at St Lucia. Either North of the Main Beach or South at the Estuary Beach. Wind is already blowing so high tide sidewash will be hectic.
Latest Catches
Many Sharks close inshore has smiled up many anglers faces and one or two got a extra dose of smiley. Bonefish, Southern Pompano and Natal Stumpnose where recorded South towards Mphelane.
North from main beach some nice shads come out with the incoming tide.

With current conditions in consideration and closing in of neap tide tomorrow we will be fishing during the midday heat between 11:00 and 14:00.
What a lovely day at Cape Vidal. High tide not much swimming to do, but the water looks lovely and people are sucking up there vitamin Sea. Although I see a few rods at the Cazibos no one is actually fishing. Wind is moderately North Easterly and the side wash looks devistating.
Drive here did not produce many Game sightings, but saw some Kudu, Baboons and Water Buck. One Blue Wildebeest and evidence of the Elephant on the road.
So I went down to the beach this morning to do my weekly fishing report and run into all sorts of obstacles. Now personally I don't have a problem with traffic flow control this time of the year. The thing is the intimidation factor behind this Hubris human being. Let us grow up and look from an adult perspective ... well this is now in hind site of watching the video ... Because the implementation is grade R mentality I went total tantrum in the video.
Andrew Zaloumis has no right to close a public road. We, the public, allow him to do it because it is in our best interest this time of the year, but the fact doen change. He could implement this with car guards from the local community. The rights of the public stays the same. Only when SAPS or Traffic Officers man such a check point do we waiver our rights. Then the laws of South Africa is invoked.
Using BIG Men in camouflage uniform is nothing else than bully tactics. There is no reason to bully holiday makers. You ask them for their coporation. They will give it. 99.9% of the time.
We all eat. Every living soul eat. Some meat some vegetables and fruit some both. Fact is that habitat is expensive and with no one paying for it Comercial driven farming take over vacant and dormant farms. The only way to make money from wildlife so it can sustain itself is to harvest it. This harvesting also ensures genetic Diversity ...
See how stupid people react emotionally and not thinking this through ...
Hennie BothaJa dit gaan my verstand ook te bowe almal kak en kerm oor die vrou wat die kameel perdskiet maar niemand se iets oor die donker groenes wat die erg bedreigde wild uit vang en op die mees barbaarste manier dood maak nie
Marius BothaJust gotta say if she paid and she is within the law we should accept that people hunt I fish and I honestly don't give a shit what people think so she hunts why dont you attack Asian countries for killing dogs and cats and just to remind everyone we come from a history of hunters and gatherers
A-Me MarshallThat's is all awful and personally against it all. All life is precious!! However people might be more out raged due to the fact giraffes are on the endangered species list. Do you want your kids/grandkids going up in a work without them or other animals due to greedy poachers who kill for sport, thrill and bragging rights this has nothing to do with her survival I.e hunters and gathers
Marius BothaWell my kids are as or older than you and understand this I dont hunt never have and never will and don't agree with hunting but reality is that is there and will probably be there for eternity and if anyone feels the need to change it then do so but i...See more
Petrus ViviersIf life is so precious why do you eat? Vegans do .ore harm to the planet... They destroy natural habitats to secure their own food. You so stupid A Me.
Leon OrsmondLet me quickly explain to the hoards of uninformed... If there was no one prepared to pay money, in order to shoot a giraffe/kudu/impala/lion.... there would be none of them on private land... they would only be found in National Parks... Farm owners would have replaced all the game on their farms in order to farm with cattle or sheep (which is more profitable) THUS HUNTING IS CONSERVATION!
